Unlocking capital for growth. Exchange on the call for investments in Moldova
Major investment opportunities are opening up in Moldova. The European Commission has launched a Call for Expressions of Interest for private investment, inviting businesses from the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA), and Moldova to take part. Unveiled earlier this month, the initiative will be further explored during a dedicated information session at Moldova Business Week 2025.
The Call, which requires a minimum investment of EUR 10 million per project, is designed to drive growth and support new investments in Moldova. It will be the central focus of the “Investment funding in Moldova: Unlocking capital for growth” session on 19 September, where European Commission experts will outline its objectives, explain how businesses can apply, and highlight the opportunities available. The session will also feature an interactive Q&A, enabling participants to raise specific questions, share insights, and gain practical guidance on how to engage.
The event is expected to gather around 150 representatives from the business community and international financial institutions. To ensure wider access, those unable to attend in person will be able to join online, as the session will be livestreamed on the EU Delegation’s social media channels and on Pivesc.eu, starting at 13:00 CET.
The Call is an integral part of the EU’s Growth Plan for Moldova, a comprehensive economic and political support package designed to stimulate the country’s growth and advance its convergence with the EU. With up to EUR 1.9 billion in financial assistance, the Growth Plan supports key reforms to improve the business environment and make Moldova a more attractive destination for investors. Building on this foundation, the Call seeks to channel private investment into strategic sectors such as energy, agriculture, industry, digital/IT, transport, logistics, and healthcare. Eligible projects must include at least 15% own equity from the project promoters.
To reduce risks and attract private investment, the EU and partner Financial Institutions are offering comprehensive support package that includes financial guarantees through the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+), loans and investment capital on favourable terms, technical assistance and other support measures.
The launch was officially announced on 4 September at the Digital Park in Chișinău, in the presence of Marta Kos and Moldovan government leaders, with representatives from the business community, international financial institutions, and the diplomatic sector. As Moldova, an EU candidate country, takes further steps to strengthen its access to the Single Market, this initiative opens up unique opportunities for businesses looking to be part of the country’s dynamic growth path.
